Gonzales should go for performance issues alone
How can the us attorneys be fired for performance issues when the attorney general says he wasn't involved in the process and wasn't monitoring it? I could understand not being involved in personnel issues when the personnel is administrative support staff but not when the personnel in question are us attorneys. He wasn't even embarrassed to make the statement.

ROFL - Since when
has performance been anything that this administration holds ANYONE accountable for?
THAT's a trend they are terrified of starting!

Its been the obvious question all along
I've been wondering why it wasn't asked. If he didn't know or wasn't involved...its kind of hard to hold anyone else to a performance standard, isn't it?

Why wasn't it asked?
Because everyone knew he was lying from the start.

It is just one of the many unasked questions
Bush has made the fight a fight about congressional oversight, so congress needs to stand up do its job.
I just wish the performance issue wasn't being avoided. Lindsay Graham came close to talking about it on Face the Nation yesterday but nothing came of it.

According to Gonzales, someone else ranked the ass kissing techniques of the attorneys, and he took their word for it. I would have thought he would asked for some proof.
I was going to try and make crude joke about this, but I can't.

I thought you would help me out
But, I was thinking of Gonzales thinking he should be on the receiving end if the attorneys wanted to keep their job.

it was NEVER about their performances
Exhibit A, Carol Lam:
Another canned attorney to track because of her scrutiny of Bush administration national security scandals is Carol Lam. She was fired from her post in San Diego after her successful prosecution of Representative Duke Cunningham, the California Republican who took $2.4 million in bribes from defense contractors. Mr. Rove has publicly suggested that Ms. Lam got the ax because "she would not commit resources to prosecute immigration offenses." That's false. Last August an assistant attorney general praised her for doubling her immigration prosecutions; last week USA Today crunched the statistics and found that she ranked seventh among her 93 peers in successful prosecutions for 2006, with immigration violations accounting for the largest single crime category prosecuted during her tenure.

"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow

I know
Gonzales at first said it was about the performance and that he had reviewed their performance. Then he said he not been informed about anything about the process before the firings happened.
One of the statements is a lie and he should be gone.
If he didn't get briefed, which I don't believe, the he should be gone for performance reasons. Which would be rather ironic. At least take about Gonzales' performance so you keep going and talk the performance of other administration officials.
But, the president has made the issue about the relationship between congress and the administration. Congress needs to gained back lost ground on this issue.
